Astronomy on Tap Bay Area: Inflation – February 21, 2017

Much like the universe in its first nanoseconds, Astronomy on Tap has undergone inflation to a much larger size. Our next event will be at DNA Lounge on Tuesday, Feb. 21st at 7:30 pm, and we have an astronomical lineup to celebrate! Brian Levine of AoT NYC will perform a “brutal dissection” of the Animaniacs song “Yakko’s Universe.” Berkeley scientist Michael Medford will follow with a discussion of his search for Planet 9. Finally, Stanford professor Risa Wechsler will share with us the legacy of Vera Rubin, a scientist who broke new ground both in astrophysics and for women in science. We’ll also feature Astronomy in the News and trivia (with prizes), and the event is FREE and open to all ages!
